A "Save Successful" message will display if there were no problems on the page.
Clicking the "Reset" button will clear all unsafe changes.
You will be prompted to confirm the reset.
7. Grading and Rolled status
The Grading Status for the class will show "In Progress" if all grades have not been entered.
Once all grades for the class have successfully been entered, the "Grading Status" will show completed.
The "Rolled" status will show "Not Started" until grades have been entered for the class and the grade rolled process begins.
The "Rolled" status will display completed when all grades for the class have been successfully rolled to academic history for the students.
8. Incomplete Grades
If an I grade is entered from the grade list, an "Incomplete Grades" block will be displayed, showing the "Incomplete Final Grade" and the "Extension Date."
Click the "Roster" tab to enter the last date of attendance for the student who received the I grade.
Remember to click the "Save" button when you have finished entering grades for the page.
If the "Last Attend Date" was not entered before clicking save, the message "A last attend date is required for this grade" will be displayed.
The missing "Last Attend Date" will be outlined in red.
Choose the date using the calendar icon and click the "Save" button at the end to complete the entry.
Grades cannot be changed once the "Rolled" column for the student contains a checkmark.
The "Rolled" button for the class will display 1) "In Progress" if some grades have been rolled or 2) "Completed" when all grades for the course have been rolled.
Note: the system will log you out if you are idle for ten or more minutes.
9. Additional Information
Final grades are due by the time and on the date listed in the Academic Calendar for Faculty published for the semester.
A "worksheet not available" message will appear when attempting to enter grades outside of the grade entry period.
Instructors can make changes to grades immediately within 240 minutes after entering a grade even if they have clicked "Submit" as long as they are still logged into the portal and before the cut-off time. After the initial 240 minutes, or logging out of the portal, the grades will be final and will be made available to students.
To enter grades after the deadline, or to change a grade, a Change of Grade form from your Dean's office with the Dean's signature is required.
If a student is actively enrolled in your class (shows on the roll with no "W") and never attended, you must submit a grade of "F." In the date field, please list the first day of your class.
It is essential to remember that if a student appears on your roll with a "W" or an "X," do not attempt to enter a grade over the "W" or the "X."
If entering an F or an I for a student, you must enter his or her last date of attendance in the proper format (01/01/2016 - two digit month/two digit date/4 digit year) listed on the sheet.
If a student is granted an "I" for incomplete, it will be changed to the grade of "F" if a grade is not assigned via a Change of Grade form before a specific date, generally around six weeks after the Grade Entry deadline.
The Registrar reopens Grade Entry after the College finals for dual enrollment classes.
For your reference, click on the chevron icon to display "Getting Started" steps and a summary of the "Course Details."
NOTE: To enter grades after the deadline, or to change a grade, a Change of Grade form from your Dean's office with the Dean's signature is required.
